It's shameful that a gallery such as this needs to exist, but we're grateful someone's put it together.

I'm excited about this one. Mended a small hole in my jeans using a Speedweve pocket loom I got a couple years ago. It's not perfect, but it works, and I have ideas about how to do better next time. Not bad for a first go.

What are your favorite books on repairing things? What about books on making things?

As the internet gets filled with AI slop I've been putting together a personal library for friends and neighbors.

I have a book on bike repair, two books related to making, altering, and mending clothes, a book on home repairs, a book about electronics, and the book I used to study for my Ham radio exam.

I did some mending yesterday.
I had 3hrs, thought it'd be 4hrs, of meetings. But I mostly just needed to respond in voice, not take any notes or so. So listening and mending at the same time was actually incredibly calming!

I'm still going to do more reinforcement.

What a cool sashiko design, and I feel like it would also not take forever. A YouTube short, so not the best, but it's a pretty cool technique, also with the good tips of that specific raw edge treatment and turning the needle!

Holes… #mending

There are quite a lot of holes - non zero chance that I miss one! #mending
